Let us set our feet to wander, to travel off anew.

Let’s close the box inside our mind that stays with tried and true.

To feel the fear inside ourself, the wonder of discovery.

To tremble at. the depths below and at the heights above me.

And passing through the zone of fear, the place where we arrive-

Gratitude for this moment and the chance to be alive.

I am sorry for the dying trees, and for the dirty sky,

I am sorry for all I’ve left undone, the love I’ve let pass by,

Remember death comes to us all, and alone we all must die,

The worst I can do with what’s left is be afraid to try.
